A little About Me My name is Scott Baker, and I have been teaching in the Catalina Foothills School District for 30 years. During that time I've had the opportunity to work in multiple capacities including 3rd and 6th grade classroom teacher, Career Ladder Supervisor, elementary and middle school physical education. While I feel fortunate to have been able to work in so many capacities for CFSD, the time I’ve spent in physical education is especially important to me professionally because it allows me to intertwine my interest and background in fitness with my love of teaching.
I see physical education as the key to preparing students to be knowledgeable about fitness and health so that they will have the tools to take responsibility for their own fitness after leaving school. This personal interest was instrumental in my own professional growth as I earned my PhD in Teaching and Teacher Education from the University of Arizona in 2005 as the result of the research and work I had done focusing on curriculum, instruction, and assessment in physical education. My wife, Windy, and I have three children. Megan graduated from the University of Arizona and is completing a graduate program from a college in the Netherlands. My son, Kyle, will be completing his business degree this year from the University of Arizona . My younger son, Dylan, is a sophomore at Arizona State University. I spend most of my spare time riding and racing bicycles. |
